Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is an uncommon vascular neoplasm. It is rare in the intracranial location. Its occurrence in the region of cavernous sinus is reported only once. Here, we report a case of 49-year-old man who presented with a headache, pain in the right eye, diplopia, and ptosis due to third and sixth cranial nerve involvement. Imaging showed an enhancing lesion in the region of cavernous sinus on the right side. Pterional craniotomy, combined extradural and intradural approach, and subtotal excision of the tumor was done. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry were suggestive of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma which is a rare tumor in this location. We report this case because of its rarity and uncommon location.
BACKGROUNDMale breast carcinoma is rare and therefore not detected on time. They also do not receive importance in studies. All male breast carcinomas received during the given period in Pathology Department at Government Medical College, Trivandrum were studied, graded, categorised, interpreted as per relevant standards and sub-typed according to their immunohistochemical profile. Appropriate statistical correlations have been applied. Hormonal study of these lesions helps to decide proper targeted chemotherapy for these cases and help in further treatment. In case of benign lesions like gynaecomastia, it can be useful in treating them with drug therapy so that patients can do away with unwanted surgeries and hassles. In view of the higher fatality rate, male breast cancers merit more serious study and early intervention.The objectives of this article are to study the clinico-pathological features of Male Breast Lesions and to assess the expression of Oestrogen Receptor and Progesterone Receptor in male breast lesions and also HER-2/neu in male breast carcinomas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
